If you have neither a secondary email address associated with your Windows Live Hotmail account nor a secret question (or a satisfying answer to it):
Use the Windows Live ID Validation form.

Provide as much detail as possible so Windows Live Hotmail support can connect you to your account without doubt.
If you are using the same computer this might also work for you. http://www.alpinesnow.com/msnpassword...

I think an easy way to keep your computer from running Slow is to install a PC protector or cleaning, according to my personal experience, Tuneup360 is good choice, and your computer takes only 30 sec to start up if you have it!!!

how can i find my password to get into my email account

there's no way to get your existing password back from MSN Hotmail or from any security-minded service provider, free or not.
A properly secure authentication scheme, such as that we would hope is used by services such as Hotmail, does not store your password. Instead, they store a one-way encrypted or hashed form of your password. When you login they encrypt whatever password you enter using the same algorithm, and if the encrypted value matches the encrypted value they have stored for you, then you must have entered the correct password.
"... there's no way to get your existing password back ..."
Let's say your password is:
Pass!werd
Not an unreasonable password, hard to guess, short and probably easy-ish to remember.
Using a hashing function (geeks: I'm using SHA1 in my example, but there are many approaches), that password is transformed into:
187483f86b7c516e35dc52aa30797f44e73ec734
Looks nothing like your password, right? However there are two incredibly important characteristics of this transformation:
•The chances of any other password generating exactly the same encrypted string are infinitesimally small.
•There's no way to go backwards.
So how do password resets work? It's the one time that the system briefly knows your password, because they:
•pick a new password for you
•encrypt it
•save the encrypted password in their database
•email the UNencrypted password to the email address of record
This will hrlp you Windows Live Hotmail's password recovery .
